To answer most of your questions, I don't know. The bike is an 03 and had the hard bags already done when I bought it. The bags were airbrushed to match the 100 anniversary stripe on the tank and fenders.




To everyone else, thanks for the words of advice and encouragement. Looks like my next step is to just lay the bike over and see how well the crash bars protect it and then get to pushing my limits.

 

You got 2 choices , man up and deal with it or sell it. Choose ........

 

Everyone drops it sooner or later. Take it from someone who's been riding since 1973.

 

Ahhhhh come on. Don't intentionally dump it, you're setting your limit pretty damn low doing this. Look through the turns and stop watching the front wheel. Look where you want to go and let the bike do its thing. Once you see how well it works, you'll continue to do this and the slow speed stuff becomes much less of a hang up.

 

Not gonna dump it with me on it...lay it on its side in the grass to see how well the crash bars protect it. Lol

 

If that's the case, get the supplies out and give the undercarriage a good cleaning lol

 

Haha, yep!

 

The best way that I found to over come fear when riding a motorcycle is to practice over and over until either the fear goes away or you find out that maybe the bike you picked to ride isn't for you. Not all bikes handle the same and not all are meant to ride a motorcycle.

 

OP, did I miss you saying you had already taken a basic riders course? Because I would start there. It can be a big head start on proper riding especially at lower speeds.
